craftgrrlWas away for the weekend but I brought my craft kit with me so I was able to make a couple of things each day. Everything under the cut. Comments appreciated. :)
First pic is of my first try at a charm bracelet. Please be kind! The star charms were from old keychains. The pink alien, I don't remember where I got him from. All I know is he seems to fit in well with the rest of the charms and I'm glad I found him. :D The second pic is of two rose earrings I made with clay rose beads I found at the bottom of my stash. They're really simple earrings, but I thought they looked pretty.
The first necklace was inspired by collars of gothic-lolita dresses I've seen while surfing the web. It doesn't look like much when it's laid flat but the curves of the second strand fall around the pendant and form something of a collar when worn. As for the second necklace, I just wanted see what double strand necklace would look like if a pendant was placed on the shortest strand. It turned out okay, but I think I should make the second strand longer for emphasis?
My first ever matching set! Yay for me! But I don't think this set can be worn all at once though. Maybe one or two at a time. What do you think? My favorite piece of this set is the bracelet because it came out way better than I thought it would. The earrings are okay but I think the necklace could use a little more work?
Someone asked to see what the necklace I posted on Day 2 looks like when worn, so here it is. Lighting was really bad, so I'm really sorry for that. You can see that the necklace can be worn either with clasp in front (sort of like a pendant?) or hidden at the back.
